    Well I cut a hole in the deck today.

    I installed a recessed pedal tray today and put a new 3 bank charger on the 202. I was nervous as heck about cutting the hole but it all went really smooth. I sealed up the edges really good before I put the tray in. I think I'll hit the water in the morning and try it out. Thanks to everyone who put up pictures showing the install.

    If people concentrated on the REALLY important things in life….there would be a shortage of fishing poles !

    I went with the Minn Kota digital 15A 3 bank. The local boat shop where I bought my recessed tray had it on sale plus a $30 mail in rebate. They were $50, I think, cheaper than BPS.

    I've been looking at chargers, thought about getting a Noco genius. Looking at the minn Kota as well.

    To be honest, I just went with what they had in stock. There may be a little difference in them but there's not a lot. As long as it keeps my batteries hot, I'm good. Haha

    For boats with limited mounting space the NOCO is tough to beat. I really like them. Tthe MK is good also, but the high dolla one is pretty big.
